He had a long and complicated relationship with Italy, a country\u003cbr\u003ewhere he was incarcerated for drug offensives, but also adored by a myriad of\u003cbr\u003eunconditional Italian fans, musicians, and producers who idolised him and recorded\u003cbr\u003ehim extensively at every opportunity.\u003cbr\u003eThe musicians accompanying Chet Baker on Septet \u0026amp; Quartet were among the very\u003cbr\u003ebest of the Italian jazz scene of the time - Glauco Masetti on alto sax, Gianni Basso on\u003cbr\u003etenor sax, Renato Sellani on piano, Franco Cerri on double bass, together with the\u003cbr\u003eItalian-American Gene Victory on drums. The arrangements were entrusted to Giulio\u003cbr\u003eLibano , who provided ample space for all to solo. Chet Baker is undoubtedly the\u003cbr\u003eprotagonist, but a lot of freedom of expression is granted to his fellow adventurers.\u003cbr\u003eFeaturing a programme of five jazz standards such as 'Tune Up' by Miles Davis, 'Pent-\u003cbr\u003eUp House' by Sonny Rollins, along with four popular standards including the added\u003cbr\u003eclosing bonus track 'My Funny Valentine' with Chet Baker providing the vocal on an\u003cbr\u003eotherwise all instrumental LP.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Record Plant","offers":[{"title":"LP 180g Vinyl","offer_id":54784737050947,"sku":"RPT-31064","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0821\/1601\/8499\/files\/8436028697113_jpg.png?v=1788344959","url":"https:\/\/www.recordplant.co.uk\/products\/sextet-and-quartet-milan","provider":"Record Plant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
